Complete Question

It is found that on average, 9% of the population recycles its garbage. Under this assumption, if a random sample of 120 households in Iowa City is taken, would you be surprised to find that fewer than 3% of households in the sample recycle their garbage? Use the fact that p-hat has an approximately normal distribution.

Group of answer choices

A I would not be surprised because there are lots of lazy students in Iowa City.

B I would not be surprised because 3% is not that far away from 9%.

C I would be surprised because Iowa City is a very clean community which means lots of people recycle their garbage.

D I would be surprised because if the 9% average is true, the chance of a sample proportion being less than 3% is very small (only 1%). Who cares? It's only garbage!

Answer:

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  = 120

    The  mean of the proportion is  p =  0.09

   

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

=>   \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{0.09(1-0.09)}{120 } }

=>   \sigma  = 0.02612

Generally the chance that fewer than 3%   of households in the sample recycle their garbage is mathematically represented as

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( \frac{X - p}{\sigma}  <  \frac{0.03 -0.09}{0.02612} )

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( Z  < -2.297 )

From the z-table  

     P( Z  < -2.297 ) = 0.01

=> [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 0.01/tex]

=>   [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 1\% /tex]

Answer:

Choice number one:

\displaystyle \frac{5}{10}\cdot \frac{4}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let A be the event that the number on the first card is even.
  • Let B be the event that the number on the second card is even.

The question is asking for the possibility that event A and B happen at the same time. However, whether A occurs or not will influence the probability of B. In other words, A and B are not independent. The probability that both A and B occur needs to be found as the product of

  • the probability that event A occurs, and
  • the probability that event B occurs given that event A occurs.

5 out of the ten numbers are even. The probability that event A occurs is:

\displaystyle P(A) = \frac{5}{10}.

In case A occurs, there will only be four cards with even numbers out of the nine cards that are still in the bag. The conditional probability of getting a second card with an even number on it, given that the first card is even, will be:

\displaystyle P(B|A) = \frac{4}{9}.

The probability that both A and B occurs will be:

\displaystyle P(A \cap B) = P(B\cap A) =  P(A) \cdot P(B|A) = \frac{5}{10}\cdot \frac{4}{9}.
